Either you believe in the scientific method or you don't

[Ms. Toad]

199. No - I am actually expanding back out

what you conflated into a false binary system (either you believe in medical science or you don't). It is virtually impossible to obtain care for for anything other than the most mundane trivial condition - even in the most traditional, conservative medical setting based exclusively or even primarily on medical care which has been proven by scientific methods.

Yet the implication of your thread (and all the other anti-woo threads) is that that is how western medicine approaches medical care - and all other stuff should be rejected - until it follows the same standards medical science does. And, coincidentally, you chose to illustrate the other stuff exclusively with things recently called "woo" but not examples such as the routine off-label use of FDA approved drugs.

That binary system is just not a reality based view of medical science.
